You wont beat the japanese direct drives for speed accuracy no matter how much you spend. I own (owned) a stable of high end tts and have compared them directly to my ... | |
| Sota Millennia Vacuum? I have owned all the vacuum decks in the line with my cosmos three now being in for the 4 upgrade. Yes, Kirk can be slow getting the work out as has been previously mentioned he is still servicing and upgrading the decks that were sold before he a... | |
| Sota/Shelter 501mkII - Tonearm Suggestions? The 309 is a great fit with the sota and works nicely with the shelter also. | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 I too have heard all three arms in various systems and all should match well with the lyra. As far as the sme being "grey" or having mid or high resonance issues I would love to see the freq plot that shows these alleged anomolies. I did not exper... | |
| Can you make some sense? - Problem Im suprised to hear CA cant/wont rebuild your cartridge but, I had an Insider gold which I replaced with a stradivari that now has broken in and delivers everything I liked about the insider and none of what I didnt like. I have heard the goldfing... | |
| MC phono stage without transformer? Atmasphere, I should have said some of the same transformers used for mic pres are also used for mc step up. Im thinking of peerless, byer,neuman and jensen whos mic trans were used for mc step up before they started making purpose built trans for... | |

| MC phono stage without transformer? Dan-ed, It may not be possible to avoid using load resistors with certain cart/trans. Im merely showing a resource for another solution. With some trans the cap is supposed to suppress the ringing although jensen is the only one Ive come across so... | |

| MC phono stage without transformer? Im sure someone here can recommend a trannie that works well with a Skala. Theres a guy on ebay called capn bob that builds suts with a variety of different transformers you might contact him and see what he offers. The tricky part is getting the ... | |
| MC phono stage without transformer? If your going to try an sut it must be a good match for your cartridge. Before you jump call and talk to someone like Kevin at K&K and have him do the math for you and make a recommendation. Many feel it is best if you can avoid having to use ... | |
| Showdown: Your Favorite Cart for Classical? I have a few carts that sound wonderful on small combo acoustic recordings but dont deliver on large scale orchestral recordings or really slammin big band. That is why I would characterize some cartridges as being better for classical. Obviously ... | |
| Thank You Souchy I agree, although the ca sound is not for everyone and the exchange rate makes a lot of their stuff to pricey in the US. That said, after trying many of the top cartridges on the market and several through the line of ca (including insider)I will ... | |
